Mission system: The ultimate class begins

Chapter 696

As soon as he took office in Guangdong, Lin Yang began drastic reforms, encouraged agricultural development, commercial trade, and also opened official private schools.

This actually gives hope to many young people who want to study. If they succeed in their studies, they can even enter officialdom in the future.

At the same time, Lin Yang also recruited craftsmen, established an industrial department, and used the knowledge in his mind to develop shipbuilding, military and other technologies.

In just two years, results have been achieved.

Guangdong's fishery and maritime trade have developed significantly.

On the military front, the equipment of the soldiers under Lin Yang was completely new. They abandoned the guns that required refilling gunpowder and ammunition every time they fired, and replaced them with semi-automatic rifles, which are a bit like the [-] rifles equipped by Japanese soldiers during World War II. cover, and also developed a howitzer with a range of several kilometers.

The whole of Guangdong has undergone great changes in just two years, from people's livelihood to military industry.

Of course, in the past two years, the world has not been very peaceful. The Jurchen tribe has been evil and has repeatedly invaded the Dashun border.

If it weren't for Shanhaiguan as a natural barrier, they would have already invaded the Central Plains.

It's not like Li Zicheng never thought of starting a war with the Jurchen tribe.

After two years of recuperation, Dashun has also recovered a lot from the war. Although it is not as good as Guangdong in development, there is no problem in supporting a war.

But every time Li Zicheng ordered troops to send troops to the north, as soon as they left Shanhaiguan and entered northern Liaoning, they were beaten by the Jurchen tribe's cavalry and abandoned their armor.

In the entire Dashun, except for Lin Yang who actually defeated the Jurchen tribe, everyone else failed.

But after all, Lin Yang was personally appointed governor of Guangdong by Li Zicheng and transferred out of the capital.

If he ordered the other party to come back and lead troops to attack Liaobei, he would not lose face.

Besides, Li Zicheng never thought about asking Lin Yang to come back.

There was no other reason. He was afraid that if he really transferred Lin Yang back and the other party wiped out the Jurchen tribe, his reputation among the people would definitely reach its peak.

At that time, the achievements will really be overshadowed by the master, and the merits cannot be covered up by making a small mistake.

In the final analysis, Li Zicheng was afraid of Lin Yang, fearing that the other party would take away his hard-won throne.

Therefore, even if he could not defeat the Jurchen tribe, Li Zicheng never thought of bringing Lin Yang back.

This led to Li Zicheng finally deciding not to leave the Liaobei land beyond Shanhaiguan.

If you can't fight, then don't fight.

If you come to attack me, I won't come out. Anyway, you can't break through my Shanhaiguan.

With this idea in mind, although Dashun and Jurchen had friction, they still lived in peace and harmony for two years.

Until the fifth year, the Jurchen tribe broke through Shanhaiguan with thunderous momentum, and their cavalry drove straight in. By the time the capital received the news, they had already arrived at the city.

Li Zicheng, including all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, couldn't believe this.

Shanhaiguan is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it is impossible to capture it in a short time.

If the other party launched an attack on Shanhaiguan, the capital would also receive the news.

How come the opponent had already broken through the level, and they didn't know until they were at the enemy's doorstep.

It wasn't until Li Zicheng and the ministers went up to the city wall in person to check the situation that they understood what was going on.

It turned out that he was Li Zicheng's brother. The general responsible for guarding Shanhaiguan surrendered to the Jurchen tribe and directly let the opponent's cavalry enter the pass and go south.

Li Zicheng was angry and sad about this.

He never thought that his brother would betray him and surrender to the Jurchen tribe.

When he appointed the generals at Shanhaiguan, he was afraid that some people would not be able to withstand the temptation and surrender, so he arranged for his family to bear it.

In the end, the person he thought was impossible to betray, the family he grew up with, actually betrayed him.

For a while, in addition to being angry and sad, Li Zicheng also felt a little depressed.

Now that the capital has been surrounded by enemies, there is no way to notify the soldiers stationed in nearby cities to come to Qinwang.

Everything happened so suddenly that they were not prepared at all.

The final result is of course self-evident. With the capital's defensive strength, there is simply no way to resist the Jurchen tribe's attack.

In just one day, the city of Beijing was breached, and Li Zicheng naturally could not escape and committed suicide in the palace.

As for the ministers in the court, those who surrendered and those who were killed were killed, and the world was once again in chaos.

In fact, it was not that Li Zicheng had no chance of escaping from the palace, but he understood that under the pursuit of the Jurchen tribe's cavalry, he might be overtaken by his hind legs as soon as he escaped from Beijing.

Instead of becoming a prisoner, he would rather imitate the Ming Dynasty emperor and die like an emperor.

It would be half a month before the news that the Jurchen tribe went south to conquer the capital truly spread throughout the world.

The Jurchen tribe took advantage of this period to attack the city and occupy most of Hebei and Chang'an.

After the governors from various places reacted, they also formed a coalition to fight against the Jurchen tribe, but Lin Yang did not participate.

Guangdong is a remote place, and it is not known how long it will take for the Jurchen tribe to reach him.

He wanted to take advantage of this period of time to accumulate more strength, and when the country was almost occupied, he would take action to turn the tide with advanced firearms.

By then, in a larger sense, he could also sit on the throne.

By that time, everyone in the world who is more qualified to sit on the throne than Lin Yang is probably dead.

One year later, after occupying the entire Central Plains region, the Jurchen tribe officially established its country, changed its name to the Qing Dynasty, and moved south to prepare to occupy the whole country.

The Qing cavalry went all the way south and successively occupied Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, western Hunan and Shu.

Until they reached the border of Guangdong guarded by Lin Yang.

They thought that taking over Guangdong would be as effortless as taking over other places before.

But when they faced Lin Yang's Musketeers, they were stunned after the first round.

At first they were very disdainful when they saw Lin Yang using muskets to deal with their cavalry.

They knew that the Ming army's muskets were so powerful in the past that they could kill people invisible from a hundred steps away.

But the gap time between guns is longer and the power is also very limited.

They only need to put heavy armor on their horses, and the muskets will be unable to do anything to them. Those projectiles have no way of penetrating the horses wearing heavy armor.

What they didn't expect was that Lin Yang's musketeers were different from the previous musketeers of the Ming army.

Just hearing the sound of intensive gunfire, a large number of war horses fell down.

Before they could react, gunfire rang out again, and countless horses fell to the ground.

Only then did they discover that the gun used by Lin Yang could not only penetrate the heavy armor of the horse, but also could be released continuously without the need to change the elixir.
